Thanks John!
I looked into downloading the Microsoft application, but when I tried to convert my file, it told me I had to buy the full version to get my file transfered. However, I found another website named “FreeMake.com” and it is BY FAR the simplest, easiest and takes the least amount of time to convert my .avi files into .mp4s. My original problem was my computer wasn’t able to render my video as an .mp4, so I had to render it as an .avi, which, I still have to do. The choppiness from the rendered video that played on Windows Media Player did not show, so that was more good luck, and then using this convertor software was seriously the coolest MOST RELIEVING thing I came across 🙂
Thank you again John for the advice. Maybe this “FreeMake.com” website will help other people who have this same problem.
